Went on another date today. After having 5 bad first dates, today was really refreshing. Met an aspiring actress, but I employed the "tricks" for how to talk to a model and not be intimidated. She was surprised and at the end mentioned I was the first guy to keep cool about that.

I wasn't getting a great reading on her, and just had a kiss close at the end. I texted her being straight that I had a fun time on our dateventure, and wanted to meet for Italian food two nights later to get to know her more and help improve her kissing skills for the big screen. She responded positively, but opted to take me out on a "surprise" because I showed her a good time and she wanted to return the favor. I know the frame is on her now, but this was the first time I didn't play games learned from TRP and was straight.

Does being straight usually work? Or should you avoid it and let women succumb to the inner hamster rationale?
